But seriously - I have enjoyed this story since its beginning, and now at Chapter 11 - excuse me while I pry my fingernails out of the keyboard - it continues to be magnificent. I love all your characters and how you've given such life to people who otherwise mere footnotes in Gondor's history - and flesh out even those we already know. The courtship of Imrahil of Dol Amroth is artfully drawn and full of your trademark unexpected turns - Thank you for continuing to tell such a splendid story. Looking forward to Chapter 12! :-)Cheers ~

[2] Reviewer:Raksha The Demon Date:November 27, 2004 11:43 PMI really loved chapter 11! The Faramir/Imrahil interaction was wonderful. Faramir is, even as a very young child, curious and persistent. And his relationship with Boromir is so sweet, yet believable.

Loved Denethor telling Boromir to apologize to Andrahar.

Nimrien certainly knows how to take the wind out of Imri's sails; doesn't she! Which is good, somebody has to now and then. Still, it's obvious she has a soft spot for Imrahil's nephews. He's smart enough to figure out that a cute toddler would make a great chick magnet - I bet he'll be inviting Nimrien on picnics with himself and Faramir during the boys' sojourn in Dol Amroth.

It certainly seems like little Faramir is a dreamer, too...

[3] Reviewer:Elena Tiriel Date:November 28, 2004 2:16 AMOh, my, Isabeau! Your stories are really bad for my health. Once I discover one of your longer ones, I get so engrossed that I can't stop until I run out of chapters. Guess I shouldn't complain -- it's only 1 am here. (Last time, with Kin-strife, it was 4 am.)

Your characterizations are realistic and superb. And how in the world you managed to keep me engrossed with TREATY NEGOTIATIONS (of all the Valar-forsaken topics!), I'll never know... Brilliant work!

[7] Reviewer:TZA Date:May 21, 2005 5:55 PMI anxiously, and kind of impatiently, await Chapter 12. I wanna know what happens next! So, when do we get to find out? Soon, I hope. I very much enjoy your story and enjoy very much watching Imrahil squirm and generally find himself bested. heh

[9] Reviewer:obsidianj Date:March 4, 2006 1:05 AM This is delightful. Poor Imrahil. That was not what he expected from a romantic stroll in the garden. Nimrien is a joy to read. She read The Garden of Love cover to cover Lol! That Imrahil was shocked at he question I can understand, but he should know by now that Nimrien is not a maiden who knows nothing of the world.

[10] Reviewer:Rebecca Date:March 4, 2006 5:26 AMPoor Imrahil. Isabeua, you do seem to enjoy giving him agonizing waits for the woman he loves, whether it's Nimrien when he's 30, or Hethlin when he's 65. Having said that, way to go Nimrien and Andra! Deliciously provocative, and our boy both needs and deserves a bit of that.
